   Hello, dear readers of our newspaper. I want to first
thing to share the joy: my SPECCY finally got
lotion, called the scanner (which incidentally works fine).
I really hope that in the foreseeable future you will be able to

   But I will not get distracted and move on to the main point, 
namely the review of the new toys on sale in the last two 
weeks.

 Title: QUICK DRAW MC GRAW
 Manufacturer: HITEC SOFT / HANNA BARBERA 1990
 Memory: 48/128k



   If you pin toys such as DEATH RIDE, you can jump to the 
ceiling, because in this game you should spend a cowboy the 
carriages nemerenoe along its length composition, while not 
forgetting to shoot a pistol, firing excessively intrusive 
bandits and Indians, who clearly has not got a ticket on the 
train and they now forced to hang out on the roofs of cars. But 
it's all nonsense, at the end of the meet you BOSS, but since 
the second level you have yet to descend into the car for 
shooting thugs, this part of the game represents the electronic 
shooting gallery - Urine bad and not good scare. The graphics 
are very well painted. The game has the CHEAT MODE, which you 
yourself know where to spy ...

 Title: SHAK
 Manufacturer: LEGIO SOFT
 Memory: 48/128k
 Disk version: FLASH



   I will not bother listing all the games that are similar to 
this masterpiece, as they simply Nemer. The plot is painfully 
familiar: a man from his comfortable home with a cozy bed and 
not less than comfortable cushion falls in the cave, which is 
swarms with some bugs, over-age, with flies the size of Eagle 
and other vermin. Well, as usual, you should be him through a 
maze to a brighter future. Immediately tell you that even with 
immortality I'm not passed on third screen (although in truth 
not very much and tried).

great pleased to once again spent several hours chasing through 
a maze of looking for diamonds. Play even more pleased that we 
can obtain immortality by pressing the menu button in the 
initial O + M + E + G + A, as well as select any of the seven 
parts of this beautiful game.

   Tighten your imagination and imagine the glass in which 
sypyatsya ... "Aha!" - You exclaim - "Another TETRIS!". And 
here No! So I will continue. Sypyatsya, so it is nothing like

vegetables and fruits. And at the bottom built a series of 
cups, which are fruits, vegetables and fall. So your task is to 
rearranged cup so that the cucumber fell on a cucumber, cherry 
on the cherries, etc. By the way you can rearrange only 
adjacent cups. So you have to sweat badly. Dial a number

points you to the next level. Now on you will
pour in geometric shapes.

 Title: MOVE'EM ALL
 Manufacturer: KEYSOFT 1996
 Memory: 48/128k



    As was promised to us by the author, it opens a series of 
games WINDOWS. Do not know how it with WINDOWS, but judging by 
the name, game logic. At first glance - a simple, on the second 
- not is, on the third - will understand. Before you strip of 
squares: left-blue, and the right red. In the middle of an 
empty box. Your task - to change the strip places. In this 
case, the squares can only move in one direction. 1996 ... Good 
luck!

 Title: THE MUNCHER EATS CHEWITS
 Manufacturer: BEAM SOFTWARE / GREMALIN GRAPHICS 1988
 Memory: 48/128k
 Disk version: FLASH



   Each person is hidden appetite for destruction. That said, 
not I, but one of the greats. It is this phrase has a direct 
bearing on the this game. Thus, for Japan's fallen on hard 
times. Your efforts from the ocean to the land climbs nemerenoe 
monster pret directly toward Tokyo. In this case, it is 
ruthlessly crushes everything that comes his way. He was 
particularly annoyed by military bases and the whole military 
equipment from helicopters to tanks, that make futile (if 
you're playing with immortality) attempts stop it. However, he 
does not forget to refresh people (they are so cool chick, if 
they hit his fist). But do not think that's all. It turns out, 
on land inhabited by no less bloodthirsty monsters that are not 
in a hurry to give you my place habitat. With them you will 
also have to understand. I want to note a good color graphics, 
unusual for this type of games.

 Title: KLIATBA NOCI
 Manufacturer: MICROTECH SYSTEMS / ULTRASOFT LTD 1993
 Memory: 48/128k
 Disk version: FLP



   Yes, I'm weak in the Slovak language ... A pity, because the 
whole game is one of them. Very cool, if anyone will it

transfer. The plot is as follows: knight enters the castle full 
of evil and begins to carry on with her active struggle. But 
apart from standard distribution of kicks and kicks, he can 
collect various items that are likely intended to help him in 
his uphill struggle. That's where it all rests on the knowledge 
of the language, so in form, many items can not learn, and tips 
are not read. In general we can say that there is still 
enormous work to the front Our hackers. Hopefully, we'll see a 
version of the game, that can be played.

 Title: SIEDDAB ATTACK
 Manufacturer: HEWSON
 Memory: 48/128k



   Sometimes it is such a mood when absolutely do not want to
hammer head any thoughts and just want to povertet
joystick, actively pressing FIRE. This game is similar to
minutes. The plot is this: You find yourself in a maze filled 
with hostile robots, pterodactyls. Do you have in the arsenal, 
there are three military vehicles and non-decreasing supply of 
laser bombs. Bottom of the screen you can see a map of the 
labyrinth, your enemies and Your move. The game makes it very 
attractive effect of the presence in combination with scanned 
graphics. DOOM is not of course but still ...

 Title: FOUR SOCCER SIMULATORS
 Manufacturer: CODE MASTERS
 Memory: 48/128k
 Disk version: FFC COMPUTERS

collection firm CODE MASTERS. The collection consists of four 
separate games:

 Name: ARCHON 2: ADEPT
 Manufacturer: ...
 Memory: 48/128k
 Disk version: FFC COMPUTERS



   Those who have not yet took up LORDS OF CHAOS, this game can 
serve as a good workout. For those who saw ARCHON 1, in this 
New game will be almost nothing, except steeper graphics and 
features. For the rest briefly describe the plot. Is War forces 
of light and darkness. For the forces of light are the four 
sorcerers, and for the forces of darkness - four sorcerer. In 
the initial menu, you can choose whom you play, and for whom 
the computer. After that, you occur on the playing field. Your 
characters can walk on it, can use the spell, causing a variety 
of creatures or correcting health. If you encounter an enemy 
you get into the arcade box, where you have to try and dunk 
your enemy. No doubt if the game was released without 
translation, namely the Spanish, the play would be very 
problematic. Therefore I'd like thank MAX'a of FFC for class 
translation.

   If you thought it was a race, then you are really wrong. Then
is, in the beginning you do choose a horse and even give it
name, but after reaching the start of the game comes down to 
throwing the ball at board with luzami race with your 
competitors. The more points you drove, the more your horse 
will move towards the coveted finish line. With the growth of 
your skills grow and the rate on your horse, and hence more 
opportunity to win. You can play alone or together.

 Name: TWIN WORLD
 Manufacturer: UBI SOFT 1990
 Memory: 48/128k
 Disk version: UNIT FIVE



   Well, finally got to the sweet! And the finale, I hit you in 
store undeniable that week. The game previously existed in the 
form bat and completely impassable version. Now she's in full 
form and the CHEAT MENU given to your attention. Toys are very 
Pleasant through perfectly painted sprites. The plot is simple: 
Your hero hanging in a kind of double world in search of 
diamonds, which give him the opportunity to go to the next 
level. In the course of things he collects star, adding points 
and pots with energy and weapons. If you play with CHEAT'om, it 
may not excite you. The main task of finding a diamond that 
looks as a ball, lying on top of the pyramid. To get it, it is 
necessary jump, standing in front of him. Finding a diamond, 
look for exit to the next level. Here, too, complexity: He 
looks like an ordinary Cave, leading to the underworld, and 
them there - a dime a dozen. I have already not talking about a 
huge number of different creatures that prevent feet and flying 
over your head. They must shoot one of the three types of balls 
you have in your possession. Special danger represent the 
red-hot stones in the underworld. Externally they are almost 
indistinguishable, but he stepped on them, you immediately 
killed. At higher levels, there are more and more traps. In 
light of this, I hasten to give advice: after the death of your 
swing to the last cave from which you entered. So do not be 
lazy and go into all the caves, which takes place, if you do 
not want to be thrown on the screen five years ago. I can 
safely say that the game you definitely happy.
